LLE improves voice quality by reducing unwanted

background noise when receiving a message. It is
compatible with most major types of audio
processing systems available today.

Companding
Companding improves voice quality by compressing
your voice at transmission, and expanding it when
receiving. Companding also reduces extraneous
noise. However, to enjoy this benet, ALL
transmitting and receiving radios must have this
feature activated.

This product is powered by a nickel-cadmium (NiCd)

or a nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) rechargeable
battery.

Charging a hot battery (above 35C) results in

reduced discharge capacity, affecting the
performance of the radio. Motorola rapid-rate
battery chargers contain a temperature-sensing
circuit to ensure that the battery is charged
within these temperature limits.

The following battery tips will help you obtain the

highest performance and longest cycle life from your
Motorola rechargeable battery.

New batteries can be stored up to two years

without signicant cycle loss. Store new/unused
batteries in a cool dry area.

Batteries which have been in storage should be

charged overnight.

Charge your new battery overnight (14-16

hours) before using it to obtain maximum
battery capacity and performance.

Do not return fully charged batteries to the

charger for an extra boost. This action will
signicantly reduce cycle life.

Charging in non-Motorola equipment may lead

to battery damage and void the battery warranty.

When charging a battery that is attached to the

radio, turn the radio off to ensure a full charge.

Do not leave your radio and battery in the

charger when not charging. Continuous charging
will shorten battery life. (Do not use your charger
as a radio stand.)

The battery should be at about 25C (room

temperature) whenever possible. Charging a
cold battery (below 10C) may result in leakage
of electrolyte and ultimately, in failure of the
battery.

For optimum battery life and operation use only

Motorola brand chargers. They were designed to
operate as an integrated energy system.

Charging your Battery

When the battery level is very low, a blinking red
LED indicator lights up during transmit mode, and
an alert tone sounds. You will need to recharge the
battery before you can continue to use your radio.
Place the radio with the battery attached or the
battery alone in the charger. The chargers LED
indicator will indicate the charging progress.
NOTE: Since new batteries or batteries that have
not been used for several months could
prematurely indicate full charge (solid green
LED), charge the batteries for 14 to 16 hours
prior to initial use to achieve optimal
performance.

Safe and Efcient Operation of Motorola

Two-Way Radios
This section provides information and instructions for
the safe and efcient operation of Motorola Portable
and Mobile Two-Way Radios.
For information regarding radio use in hazardous
areas, please refer to the Factory Mutual (FM)
approval manual supplement or Instruction Card
which is included with radio models that offer this

Exposure To Radio Frequency Energy

National and International Standards and
Guidelines
Your Motorola Two-Way Radio, which generates and
radiates radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy
(EME) is designed to comply with the following National
and International Standards and Guidelines regarding
exposure of human beings to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy:

Federal Communications Commission Report and

Order No. FCC 96-326 (August 1996)

American National Standards Institute

(C95.1 - 1992)

National Council on Radiation Protection and

Measurements (NCRP - 1986)

International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNRP - 1986)

European Committee for Electrotechnical

Standardisation (CENELEC):
ENV. 50166-1
1995 E

Human Exposure to Electromagnetic Fields Low Frequency (0Hz to 10kHz)

ENV. 50166-2

Safety Considerations for

Human Exposure to E.M.F.s
from Mobile Telecommunications Equipment (M.T.E.) in
the Frequency Range
30MHz - 6 GHz (E.M.F. Electromagnetic Fields)

To assure optimal radio performance and that

human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic
energy is within the guidelines set forth in the above
standards, always adhere to the following
procedures:

EME Exposure

Operational Warnings

SAFETY

When transmitting with a portable

radio, hold the radio in a vertical
position with its microphone 2.5 to 5
centimeters (1 to 2 inches) away from your mouth.
Keep antenna at least 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) from
your head and body.
If you wear a portable two-way radio on your body,
ensure that the antenna is at least 2.5 centimeters
(1 inch) from your body when transmitting.

MAN WITH RA

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
Note: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible
to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if
inadequately shielded, designed or otherwise congured for electromagnetic compatibility.
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or
compatibility conicts, turn off your radio in any
facility where posted notices instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or health care facilities may be using
equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.
When instructed to do so, turn off your radio when
on board an aircraft. Any use of a radio must be in
accordance with airline regulations or crew
instructions.

Vehicles With an Air Bag

WARNING

Do not place a portable radio in the area over an air

bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags
inate with great force. If a portable radio is placed
in the air bag deployment area and the air bag
inates, the radio may be propelled with great force
and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn off your two-way radio when you are in any
area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere, unless it is a radio type especially
qualied for use in such areas (for example, Factory
Mutual). Sparks in a potentially explosive
atmosphere can cause an explosion or re resulting
in bodily injury or even death.

Batteries
Do not replace or recharge batteries in a potentially
explosive atmosphere. Contact sparking may occur
while installing or removing batteries and cause an
explosion.

Batteries

To avoid possible interference with blasting

operations, turn off your radio when you are near
electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in
areas posted: Turn off two-way radio. Obey all
signs and instructions.

All batteries can cause property damage and/or

bodily injury such as burns if a conductive material
such as jewellery, keys, or beaded chains touch
exposed terminals. The conductive material may
complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and
become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any
charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a
pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects.

Note:
The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres
referred to above include fueling areas such as:
below decks on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or
storage facilities; areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal
powders; and any other area where you would
normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are
often but not always posted.

The use of chemicals such as

detergents, alcohol, aerosol
Caution
sprays, and/or petroleum
products may be harmful to and damage the
radio housing.
Avoid physical abuse of the radio such as
carrying it by the antenna.

Damaged Antennas

General Radio Care

Caution

Do not use any portable two-way radio that has a

damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes
into contact with your skin, a minor burn can result.

The accessory connector (if tted) has a

protective cap which should be left in place when
the connector is not in use.
Clean the radio exterior using a cloth moistened
with clean water and a mild dishwashing liquid.
The use of non-approved radio accessories may
damage the radio and invalidate warranty.
